imageinit: can't open font

[Mitsos101]

The fonts in /usr/lib/plan9 work. Running under Linux/X11.

i have the same problem. as additional info: i get what looks like random garbage bytes in place of the unicode replacement rune above.

some output from multiple runs:

imageinit: can't open font /mnt/font/Pfennig/12a/font:  PV4[
acme: can't open display:  PV4[
imageinit: can't open font /mnt/font/Pfennig/12a/font:  �
acme: can't open display:  �
imageinit: can't open font /mnt/font/Pfennig/12a/font:   �[
acme: can't open display:   �[
imageinit: can't open font /mnt/font/Pfennig/12a/font:  �{M[
acme: can't open display:  �{M[

9p ls font/Pfennig/12a/font works fine like for @Mitsos101

i'd like to help, but never really debugged a plan9(port) program so far ;)

edit: I tested the method using 9pfuse described here, which while a bit ugly works: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/plan9port-dev/P817yhWUw2A/EpE44GlJoQsJ but as russ commented there, it should work without this.
